Hi,
May be this also works.
basename(file_path_sans_ext("/the/path/to/afile.txt"))
#[1] "afile"
A.K.

Hello,

You can use ?basename to write a file.stem function:


basename("/the/path/to/afile.txt")

file.stem <- function(x){
    bn <- basename(x)
    gsub("\\..*$", "", bn)
}
file.stem("/the/path/to/afile.txt")



Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
